Jesus. Wrongo Dongo again. The only reason I mentioned that it would be easy to fix via paperwork is because you and 94 said it would be a huge issue when it comes time to sell, which it simply isn't. You also stated that you are getting your info from complaints by residential real estate agents, who might be the dumbest class of people on planet earth. All they do is complain and play the blame game until someone with the wherewithal to fix a problem steps up and does it.
At least we have QC as evidence of someone who can read. My point all along was that unless hommie fences off your entire back yard, its not likely worth going to court. Handle it like a man, stop consulting your wife, offering movie tickets and having circular conversations on the dudes porch where he tells you to fuck off and you oblige.
The average house price in Mayretta is probably around $225K if I had to guess. Maybe lower. Let me do some mental hand holding for ya.
An acre of land is 43500 sq ft. Lets say OP's grandiose unfenced surburban palace is on a half acre, so 21750 square feet. Lets forget that he has no idea whether the stakes were actually moved, and cant read a survey himself, but he thinks they were moved 2 feet over a 40 foot line, so 80 square feet.
$225K for a half acre lot comes to an avg square foot price of around $10 (That of course is an average sq ft price; the improved square footage of said palace would be calculated at a much higher rate as the unimproved, unfenced backyard, so its not a perfect number), your grand loss here is around $825.00. For the sake of argument lets double that for $1700 worth of damage. Any decent attorney would likely charge you at least $2500.00 to draft a temporary injunction and make at least 2 appearances. (seeing as how movie tickets aren't persuasive in court, I am guessing homes should have counsel).
Now lets offset that with the mitigating fact that you now have a giant prefab fence separating you from said dickbag. Now you dont have to look at his face when you are enjoying your above ground pool in August. Its just not that big of a deal.
